Demonstration of judicial dueling

Interesting demo. by the Blossfechten group from Germany, performing a reconstruction of semi-ritualistic c1500 judicial dueling. They're using wooden weapon simulators tipped with rubber pads for safety, with modern protective gear standing in for steel armor.

The demo. fights appear to be genuine sparring matches up to the point one fighter scores a solid hit, at which point the other one "sells" the hit as if wounded, to show the audience how the match might have ended if they were using real weapons. Some nice uneven-weapon sparring, half-swording and standing grappling to be seen.
